6 Ils dirent à Jephthé: Viens, tu seras notre chef, et nous combattrons les fils d’Ammon.

7 Jephthé répondit aux anciens de Galaad: N’avez-vous pas eu de la haine pour moi, et ne m’avez-vous pas chassé de la maison de mon père? Pourquoi venez-vous à moi maintenant que vous êtes dans la détresse?

8 Les anciens de Galaad dirent à Jephthé: Nous revenons à toi maintenant, afin que tu marches avec nous, que tu combattes les fils d’Ammon, et que tu sois notre chef, celui de tous les habitants de Galaad.

9 Jephthé répondit aux anciens de Galaad: Si vous me ramenez pour combattre les fils d’Ammon, et que l’Éternel les livre devant moi, je serai votre chef.
